3568708 - Values for number fields are getting rounded to the nearest whole number, when used as display options in the Latest Workbench.

Symptom

When Number fields are configured as display options in the Latest Workbench, the decimal values get rounded up the nearest whole number. In the Legacy Workbench, the decimal number remains in the Display Options section.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Configure various number fields as Display Options in the Latest Workbench
  2. Ensure that the values on the Application are decimal values
  3. In the Display Options section of the Latest Workbench, these decimal values get rounded up.
  4. The same behaviour doesn't happen when these fields are configured as display options in the Legacy Workbench

Cause

Caused by configuration.

Resolution

If the same Number field is configured on both the Candidate Profile & Application Template, the Latest Workbench display Options takes it's configuration from the Candidate Profile. The field format on the Candidate Profile must be as per below, in order for the Display Options to display the decimal figure.

  • the property "type" equals to "number" in the tag "field-definition",
  • the sub tag "field-format" with raw value "#.00"

Also you can configure the number field in the Application Template only, with the above format, and this should ensure that the system won't round up the Number value.
